    Funny actually, after watching this video a few days ago I played in a tournament yesterday on sky and on two ocassions I was slow rolled when my opponents had the nuts on both occasions.

    I rarely play tournaments on sky, is this common place or did I just come up against two rotten eggs?

    In Response to Re: Worst slowroll ever : it's still a disgrace, being autistic shouldn't make  these decisions any harder, i'm an autistic person myself but the minute i see see myself holding the nuts i'll be calling a shove, so he's an even bigger disgrace giving autistic people a bad name.

    Craig that's because you have read forums and such and know it's bad etiquette to do so. If he's never heard of slow-rolling before but isn't autistic then his social skills might assess the situation and deem that waiting ages to call with the nuts is probably not very kind to the other player in the hand. But with a lack of social skills AND not knowing about slow-rolling he has no clue what he is doing is wrong or that it will affect the other players in the hand.

    If he is autistic he would in no way being given autstic people a bad name because anyone that even knows about autism knows that it can affect a person's social skills.

    The only person that has mentioned autism is you.  Shame you haven't got anything better to do with your time than invent some spurious reason for this player slowrolling.

    A little harsh, tsarina - it was simple supposition, and not entirely without merit or foundation either. I have a family member with autism (even diagnosed it for the doctor) and Ivanovic raises some valid points. At no point does he claim the guy is autistic.

    What's your problem? I'm saying I think it's wrong for so many people to be hating on this guy without knowing all the facts and suggested it could be autism which makes it even worse that people have ridiculed him. Actually I saw someone else mention autism elsewhere and that's why I brought it up here because to me it made sense as a possibility. Why do you even care?
